Citation: The following Sanitary Performance
Standards Non-Compliances have been observed and noted as follows:
The establishment uses a sanitizer called "[redacted]. The
instructions state for kitchens /bathroom use to use 3/4 cup of
bleach per gallon of water, let stand 10 minutes/rinse and air dry.
There is no documentation maintained and no SSOP reference
supporting that these instructions for bleach use are being followed
on food contact surfaces and therefore not supporting the safe and
effective use of the sanitizing compound. This fails to meet the
requirements of 9 CFR 416.4(c). Slaughter floor- The establishment's
pre-operational sanitation form was completed and all areas
designated "A" (acceptable). There is standing water in the area
where the carcass neck area was seen contacting the floor on 2/01.
This fails to meet the requirements of 9 CFR 416.2(e)(4). There were
fats/greases on the hoist lift switch that is touched by an employee
during use. This fails to meet the requirements of 9 CFR 416.4(b).
The PVC pipe used to store the hook/gambrel assemblies has residues
that touch the hook area, i.e. food contact surface. This fails to
meet the requirements of 9 CFR 416.4(a) and 416.13(a). There is
broken duct tape used on an electric cord of the splitting saw and
also broken duct tape on a wall hook assembly. The broken duct tape
will impede proper cleaning/sanitizing procedures. This fails to
meet the requirements of 9 CFR 416.4(b). The wall where the brisket
saw is mounted, near the left corner, adjacent to the floor joint,
is broken open in an area of about 6"x8" in size. This fails to meet
the requirements of 9 CFR 416.2(b). The I-beam covering at the
cooler door area, on the Lactic Acid application side of the carcass
hang area, was broken open and the I-beam is exposed. This fails to
meet the requirements of 9 CFR 416.2(b)(1)(2). Knocking room- In the
room where the captive bolt and equipment (lactic acid spray) is
stored, had a clipboard on top of a rack. The clipboard was filthy.
This fails to meet the requirements of 9 CFR 416.4(b). Shipping
area- The rear door at the back of the freezer box is not sealing
properly (allows light to be seen) and could also allow possible
rodent entry. This fails to meet the requirements of 9 CFR
416.2(b)(3). Past similar N/R's. #0016-2010-17169 #0002-2011-17169
